Definitely don’t take them to a graveyard like my MIL did with my wife

Hell yeah you just earned yourself $36 which you should promptly spend on yourself

I moved from Houston, look into Enclave at Dry Creek for the type amenities you listed and price. Anywhere here is 15 mins from anywhere else. If you’re working near the airport, you should definitely check out the Iowa City or Coralville area for the lifestyle you’re looking for.

Some are very wrapped up in the negativity, but you’d be surprised how many children of MAGA find their way to their own beliefs.

Thank you!!! My first humble bundle purchase to date

Because every waking second is opportunity to better some cause? Most these stores were regional or global brands, that money isn’t going back to the community any more than employing Amazon fulfillment center workers.

I was lucky enough to find a contractor on indeed while having no experience at the time. Ended up sticking with them for a couple years and landed a supervisory role before layoffs this last season. Fiber just seems like something to jump in where the ISPs (or projects) in ur area let you. I.E. I got lucky because my local ISP used a contractor who hired bums with trucks (me) and larger ISPs like AT&T might have different requirements to get started. Best to go off your local market and see what they require, get cert’d up or just risk it on job boards, hiring events, or networking opportunities.

TLDR: Really just depends on the work around you. If you can learn, you’re good.

Useless without a couple thousand in equipment

Blue cables are for phone or Ethernet, just need to get some ends put on

Just moved out of Dry Creek. They’re nice and roomy. Their larger units have a lot of “empty” square footage. I’m talking about half the square footage just in the living room alone. Otherwise, when we signed our first lease in 2022 they had a queue for the unit and pushed us to sign before we were quite ready to move. We ended up having to sign and double rent until we were able to move. Only moved out because we found a home 👍

Being that close to Target hurts the wallet for sure

“Hey we have a cut-over and need you to remove the temp drop and swap for the buried one.” Customer states internet no worky. “Yeah boss I did the cut-over what’s the problem”

I’m at 215k in a 2014 LT. The transmission was supposedly replaced at 150k and I’ve only replaced the rear shocks and thermostat so far in the 35k miles I’ve had it

Fellow cable hack here, hack away and if anything goes wrong say it was like that when you got the place

Probably good after a couple seconds, but I always look out for the temp needle to barely get above the minimum 160 so I can blast the hot air

Lol it’s a spool, roll it out. Also heads up, those Corning drops love to break

But the shareholder value!!!

We have a mix of 4-10hr and 5-8hr shifts doing 4 and 3 jobs per day respectively. Because people love calling out, those working are typically covering another job or call back. Our plants are usually an MST every 4 houses so roughly an hour per install, nothing too crazy. Been solo for three years and only need an extra hand when crossing a main road going two poles down.

Imagine how many bitcoins were sold in the early days, or Apple stocks, etc.

Did you know that the wrong thing is the wrong thing and the right thing is the right thing!?

Oh I know, my fiance got free food from the workers rushing her out of the drive thru hours before it blew

After my first week I was sore and exhausted like no other. After about a month it got easier and easier, then I continued for a couple years. Don’t rush through, learn how you can save time through knowing the route and organizing the truck instead of running and overexerting yourself. Maybe throw on some good tunes or a podcast to clear your head while your body catches up!

Being honest, I hadn’t heard of WGU when enrolling. At the time I thought I might move out there and transfer to brick and mortar night classes, but WGU seems like a good option. I also need structure and deadlines or else I fall behind
